wow i thought this was only happening in Hawaii. people are renting u-haul trucks there to get around, lol. and locals are buying up every used car to rent out on Turo.

PS: i like the shining-matt conclusion. :matt-jokerfied:

hilarious. I work for a big institution that has historically maintained its own vehicle fleet since cars were invented, but just before covid the austerity bean counters have been gutting every in-house service provider and signing contracts with huge corporations. and naturally, they slit the throat of fleet services and told us we all will be getting cars through a single rental company and how big of a savings this would be (the savings are never for employees raises unless you're at the C-level, naturally)

in the covid era we're all virtual anyway, but I am so looking forward to the massive gangfuck that results if this trend is widespread, because it will fuck shit up royally.

fuck that's why the price was insane when I looked into it last week

good to see capitalism slowly hanging itself at least
